  • FUCK THE JEWNITED STATES OF AMERICA.A NATION OF FUCKING FAT FAGGOTS.TOO BAD IT REPRESENTS MODERN WESTERN CIVLISATION..

  • From day 1 governments have been scared of the internet because they can't control it. SOPA and PIPA are the first shots across the bows to regulate the internet to their will. Next it will be porn or Anti this or that (anything) that THEY do not like and can grab the moral high ground on, until they bring the web to heel and feed us what they want us to hear. Properganda is not knowledge, a long leash is not freedom. Fight for your right to Surf unfettered or Logoff your freedom.

  • FUCK SOPA.

  • hope all the non US governments around the world stand up to this, the UK particularly instead of the usual bending over and saying 'stick it up here cowboy', rather, go fuck yourself and your bullshit laws. Remember: America isn't the world, and the world isn't America

  • Thanks for sharing this with humankind! (no sarcasm)

  • What of the Enemy Expatriation Act? There is Congressman Dent from PA who introduced the bill and has a vid out which can be seen on youtube.

  • stupid americans, they do shit and now all of the world has to pay for it.

  • does sound like tom hanks. good report

  • 8:47...anyhwhere

  • i hear what this guy is saying and everything and it's awesome but he looks like tom hanks if he was bald. and kinda sounds like him sometimes.
